This book is dedicated to introducing some progress of FGDM in theory and applications, including new concepts, execution procedures, solving methods, and various applications. In particular, this book emphasizes the introduction of fuzzy collaborative intelligence into FGDM to measure and enhance the consensus among decision makers. The philosophy of fuzzy collaborative intelligence is to analyze a problem from diverse perspectives, so as to raise the chance that no relevant aspects of the problem will be ignored. From the view of fuzzy collaborative intelligence, in a fuzzy group decision-making system, some decision-makers (or decision-making units) with various backgrounds are trying to make a decision jointly through their collaboration. Since they have different knowledge and points of view, they may apply various fuzzy decision-making methods to analyze the problem and make their choices. The key of such a system is that these decision-makers share and exchange their opinions, judgments, priorities, evaluations, and/or decisions with each other when making the final decision. In addition, existing FGDM methods usually average decision-makers’ judgments, priorities, and/or evaluations to find their consensus, which is mathematically sound but may not be acceptable to all decision-makers. In contrast, a fuzzy collaborative intelligence seeks the overlap of decision-makers’ judgments, priorities, evaluations, and/or decisions to ensure the acceptability of the final decision.
